Commercial Account Executive | Benelux (Dutch or French speaking) in London

Meet DeepL. DeepL is a global AI product and research company focused on building secure, intelligent solutions to complex business problems. Over 200,000 business customers and millions of individuals across 228 global markets today trust DeepL's Language AI platform for human-like translation, improved writing and real-time voice translation.

Founded in 2017 by CEO Jaroslaw “Jarek” Kutylowski, DeepL now has over 1,000 passionate employees and is supported by world-renowned investors including Benchmark, IVP, and Index Ventures. Our goal is to become the global leader in trusted, intelligent AI technology, building products that drive better communication, foster connections, and create a meaningful impact. To achieve this, we need talented people like you to join our journey.

We're looking for a Commercial Account Executive to help us accelerate growth across DeepL's commercial segment (up to 500 employees) in the Benelux region. In this role, you'll own the full sales cycle with a focus on bringing in new business — building real relationships with clients and helping them break down language barriers with our market-leading AI translation technology. The role can be based in London or Amsterdam.

Your responsibilities:

• Be a driving force in DeepL's growth by introducing our translation solutions to businesses across Benelux — helping them communicate across borders with confidence.
• Become a trusted expert on our products and a genuine partner to customers, understanding their needs and finding the right solutions for them.
• Guide prospects through the full sales cycle — from first conversation to close — with care, clarity and purpose.
• Build and manage a healthy pipeline of new business, while identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts through upselling and cross-selling.
• Work collaboratively with our SDR, Marketing, and Customer Success teams to deliver a seamless experience for every prospect and customer.
• Keep your pipeline organised and your forecasting sharp — tracking opportunities, use cases, timeframes, and next steps.
• Contribute to a team culture where everyone's success is shared.

Qualities we look for:

• 2+ years of full-cycle sales experience.
• Background in software or SaaS sales is a plus — but a strong learning mindset matters just as much.
• Strong communication, organisation, and presentation skills — you know how to build trust and tell a compelling story.
• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment and able to adapt when priorities shift.
• A collaborative spirit — you enjoy lifting others up as much as you enjoy your own wins.
• Fluency in Dutch OR French and English is essential.

What we offer:

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: joining our team means becoming part of a large, global community with people of more than 90 nationalities.
• Open communication, regular feedback: as a language-focused company, we value the importance of clear, honest communication.
• Hybrid work, flexible hours: we offer a hybrid work schedule, with team members coming into the office twice a week.
• Regular in-person team events: we bond over vibrant events that are as unique as our team.
• Monthly full-day hacking sessions: every month, we have Hack Fridays, where you can spend your time diving into a project you're passionate about.
• 30 days of annual leave: we value your peace of mind.
• Competitive benefits: we've crafted it to reflect the diversity of our team and tailored it to align with your unique location.

If this role and our mission resonate with you, but you're hesitant because you don't check all the boxes, don't let that hold you back. At DeepL, it's all about the value you bring and the growth we can foster together. Go ahead, apply—let's discover your potential together. We can't wait to meet you!

We are an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at DeepL for who you are - we appreciate authenticity here. Our product is for everyone, and so is our workplace.
